No Chuck D

Here’s a surprise: The icy weather that has shut down every practically every school system in South Texas has also forced the cancellation of tonight’s Martin Luther King Commemorative Lecture at Trinity University by Chuck D, founder of the influential rap group Public Enemy.

The free lecture, which had been set for 7 p.m. in Laurie Auditorium, was part of this week’s MLK-related events. Trinity’s Web site says it will be rescheduled in the near future.
